Snowpocalypse 2011

Captain got his first snowperience of 2011 this weekend in Tahoe, and what a lot of snow it was...


We almost didn't make it! The roads were awful- the highway was even closed for most of the day after a small avalanche and 2 feet of snow. Once the roads opened, it was a loooooong car ride (far too long for a Vizsla), but we were all on cloud nine once we finally got there! Captain made himself at home immediately by taking over the dog bed in front of the fireplace.


The next morning, Captain and his buddy Trax were all too happy to tear up the completely snow-filled yard.


And check out the killer view!
This was our first trip to North Lake Tahoe- seems like we might need to come back!

Kong heaven

Good things always come in red :-)

Daddy=Chair

What? You think this is wrong? 60lbs is the perfect size to be a lap dog. Maybe I'll go sit on Mommy next...

Cupcakes shouldn't be for babies (says Captain)

Captain thinks all cupcakes should be for him, always. Too bad I've had a few baby showers to go to recently, and my go-to baby shower bring-along is a batch of cupcakes.

He watches and waits....


I blend and bake....He looks at me with giant eyes.....and then resorts to sulking.
CREAM CHEESE FROSTING???!!!! I LOVE CREAM CHEESE!!!I caught him staring at the tray but didn't catch it on camera! Poor Captain.... one day, I'll make him his very own pupcakes. But alas, these weren't them.


(He did look so cute looking so longingly at the cupcakes that I did sneak him a bit of that cream cheese icing! Don't tell!)

You gotta have blankets

As any good Vizsla knows, it's very important to have lots of blankets to cuddle under.

It is NOT, however, important to keep one's head up and one's eyes open when pictures are being taken.

Thank you

After a particularly hard day, the one thing that can bring me back in an instant is Captain. No matter what, he makes me smile, laugh uncontrollably, and feel nothing but love. So here's to our dogs for being best friends, wiggly butts, laugh-generators, and awesome affection-givers. Thanks, Captain ;-)
